The ninth year of Zhenguan, 635 AD, spring
In a pavilion in the palace, a six or seven-year-old child was lying on a long stone bench with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Standing next to them were two people, an older one and a younger one. The older one was dressed as a female official and was about twenty years old. She had pretty features. The younger one is a eunuch. He is about ten years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is very pleasing to the eye.
The female officer raised her head to look at the sky, stepped forward and called softly: "Your Highness, King Shen, it's time for dinner."
Shen Wang Li Shen, the tenth son of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, is 7 years old this year. The mother is Concubine Wei, the first of the four concubines in the inner palace, and the legitimate daughter of Wei's Yun Gongfang in Jingzhao.
"Oh" After a long while, Li Shen uttered one word. He stood up slowly, his whole body exuding a lazy aura.
No one knows that beneath the appearance of this six- or seven-year-old child is a soul that is more than 1,400 years old.
A year ago, he was a middle-aged uncle born in the 1980s. In his thirties, he was ordinary and opened a small shop. He got up early every day and worked hard for a living.
I stay in the store for ten hours every day, watching videos and reading novels all day long. He has the identity of a little boss more than an otaku.
I thought I would just spend my life doing nothing, but I never expected that I would die because of a leak in the electric wire while changing the water in the fish tank.
What was even more unexpected was that after waking up, he traveled to the Tang Dynasty and became Li Shimin's tenth son. Originally, it was a joy to travel back in time to become a prince, but what made him depressed was that Li Shen was only six years old at the time.
It is such an embarrassing and sad thing for a thirty-year-old soul to travel into the body of a six-year-old child.
Fortunately, he had worked hard to adapt to his identity over the past year, and he vaguely remembered a video he had seen saying that Li Shen would leave the feudal territory when he was eight years old.
After Li Shen got up, he slowly walked out of the pavilion and headed to the side hall. This is the Daji Hall of Tai Chi Palace, where his mother, Concubine Wei, lives.
Concubine Gui, Shu, De, Xian and Wei Guifei are the first of the four ladies, and the Daji Palace is second only to the Lizheng Palace of Queen Changsun. In the early Tang Dynasty, underage princes and daughters lived with their mothers.
Except for those whose mothers died and were raised by the eldest grandson, the rest would not move out of the harem until they reached adulthood. Some left the vassal to fiefdom, while others stayed in Chang'an.
"I've seen the mother concubine." As soon as Li Shen entered, he saw a beautiful woman in palace attire with a beautiful appearance and elegant manners, kneeling on the cave. The beautiful woman was Concubine Wei.
Although Concubine Wei is thirty-seven years old, she is still graceful and graceful. No wonder Li Shimin was willing to marry Concubine Wei, who was two years older than him and was also a widow. Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! She is her mother now, how can she think like this.
"Well, Shen'er, come and have a meal," Concubine Wei replied softly.
"Yes, concubine," Li Shen replied, walking over and kneeling on the couch to start eating.
According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, all Li Shimin's children in the harem could only call the eldest grandson Queen mother, or aunt.
Li Shen was not used to calling his biological mother aunt, so he changed it to mother concubine. In fact, this term did not exist in the Tang Dynasty. He also calls her Aunt Wei Guifei in private and in public.
What Li Shen was most uncomfortable with was that in the Tang Dynasty there were no tables and chairs, only tatami mats. When eating, we knelt and sat on it. There was a small table in front of each person, which felt like a small table in a kindergarten.
Sitting on your knees for a long time is very uncomfortable. In the Imperial College, there are four types of kneeling: sitting in the posture, squatting, sitting with a squat, and sitting with a belt. There are also perverted remarks about etiquette and cultivation.
In fact, according to Li Shen's own understanding, these four are kneeling, sitting, cross-legged, and squatting. But he had no choice. It was better to follow the locals than to be reprimanded.
"Shen'er, have you finished your studies at the Imperial College?" Concubine Wei asked after seeing Li Shen sit down. This was a daily question. Concubine Wei was very concerned about Li Shen's studies.
"Returning to my mother-in-law, it's done."
"Shen'er, you have to study hard, and you will be able to make a difference when you leave Pan fiefdom in the future. As a prince, you should share the worries of the court. You are already seven years old. In the past few years, you should study hard in the palace and don't cause trouble." Concubine Wei continued. road.
"Yes, mother and concubine, please bear this in mind." Li Shen also said respectfully.
But he was thinking in his heart that his mother didn't know that he would go to the fiefdom in another year. Thinking of this, Li Shen was still a little reluctant to give up. After all, Concubine Wei was the biological mother and she had really doted on Li Shen over the past year.
Although he is not the original Li Shen, blood is thicker than water and it is impossible to be emotionless.
The vassal king has gone to his fiefdom and is not allowed to return to the capital without an edict. It is not certain when he will be able to see him again. The inner courtyard of the deep palace is like a big cage.
There is only one man serving there, the emperor. How many women have entered it and have not seen the emperor for several years, and some have not even been favored until their death.
Concubine Wei gave birth to a son for the royal family, which continued the bloodline of the royal family. A mother is more valuable than her son, but Li Shimin may not be able to come once a month.
Li Shimin's favorite was Empress Changsun. Most of them spent the night at Empress Changsun's place. There was not enough time left for so many women.
So Li Shen knew that after he left, Concubine Wei rarely spoke. But once he entered the palace gate and it was as deep as the sea, Li Shen couldn't change it.
Unless Li Shimin dies, Concubine Wei will have the opportunity to return to the fiefdom with Li Shen to retire, but Li Shimin can still live for more than ten years.
"Shen'er, we are not allowed to bath tomorrow. His Majesty just sent someone here to tell us that tomorrow we will go boating in Nanhai Pool and have a meal at Wangyunting Pavilion at noon." Concubine Wei said suddenly.
"Concubine, I don't know who else is going." Li Shen knew that it couldn't be just his mother and daughter.
Li Shimin is not so leisurely. He was a wise king. In order to eliminate the negative influence of Xuanwu Sect, he had worked conscientiously since he took the throne. How could he be in the mood to accompany her and her mother on a lake trip. Besides, his mother is not so favored.
"I asked the eunuch who sent the message, and all the princes and princesses are going. I heard that it was arranged by the Queen. Because His Majesty has been too tired recently, the Queen wants His Majesty to take a rest and relax. You tomorrow Come with me, or go and play first?" said Concubine Wei.
"So that's it. Then I will go with my mother and concubine tomorrow. The children have finished eating and will go back to their residence first. Mother and concubine, please use it slowly." Li Shen put down his chopsticks and stood up to salute.
"Yeah. Go ahead."
Concubine Wei didn't understand why she had nothing to say to her son. To Concubine Wei, Li Shen didn't feel like a child, not as lively as he should be at his age.
The other princes were lively and active when they were young, and even if they looked calm, you could tell that they were just pretending.
Concubine Wei sometimes wondered if Li Shen was born with some flaw. Unlike with her daughter Li Mengjiang. The mother and daughter talked every day, and Li Mengjiang also told some interesting stories to relieve Wei Guifei's boredom.
Li Shen came out of the side hall and went straight to his small courtyard. He would leave the feudal clan in a year. The tiring life in his previous life was still fresh in his memory. He finally traveled through time and became a prince in this life. He must be worthy of the second generation of the emperor. Status, enjoy the glory and wealth.
Why travel through time and strive to become an emperor? Go to hell.
